Bruno Colin : Chassagne-Montrachet 1er cru "Les Vergers" 2022

This is all about harmony and a silky texture, an ideal setting for subtle aromas and flavors of vanilla, peach, citrus and buttered pastry. Seems effortless thanks to its seamless profile and lingering, toasty aftertaste. Drink now through 2032.

The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Vergers 1er Cru is quite reduced on the nose, yellow fruit commingling with dried honey and acacia. It needs a little more minéralité. The palate is well balanced with a viscous entry, ripe and showy, with impressive depth and grip and a slightly honeyed, spicy finish that lingers in the mouth. Fine, albeit one for earlier drinking than others. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.
